My friend Carrie sent me a link to your blog. I’m forwarding your post to my twin sis who has MS and I know it will encourage her. Thank you.

My dear friend has a twin sister who is in the hospital right now receiving treatment for an MS flare up. I’m sure it is no coincidence that I came upon your blog today. I’m forwarding it to my friend who writes as well. Thanks for sharing.

It’s “funny” how I came across your blog and eventually this post. I was scanning the WW participants’ list and noticed the name of your blog so I clicked through to your picture. Not really a dog person, but your header attracted my attention. I noticed your faith and your chronic illness.

I have been a little lacking in faith as of lately, but I think it is getting better. And I thought, “Hey, maybe I can chat with her too ’cause it looks like we have a few things in common.” I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about a year or so ago. Then not too long ago I found out I have a strain of lupus. The last few days I’ve been discovering little rashes all over my body. It’s like more and more are developing. I am a fanatic about my skin, but I have tried not to think about the rashes then I saw this post. Hmmm? Maybe I should pay more attention to them and make setting my follow up appointment a priority.

What can they do about the rashes? I thought maybe it was a result of the medicine.

I haven’t been mad about the chronic illnesses and I haven’t even thought why me this time (have had quite a few medical issues over the years), I am just trying to take one day at a time.

Thanks for this post… sorry my comment is so long.

I wish and see you having a speedy recovery

Gratitude connects us to the good in everything. When connected to the good, more good things move into our lives. It’s a challenge to be grateful when hit with a tough circumstance but the more effort you put into finding the good in everything that you can the quicker that you will recover.

Try reminding yourself every 5 minutes that you’re inherently perfect. God made you perfect, and no matter what appearances surface in our bodies they will pass IF we remind ourselves constantly that we are inherently perfect. The healing power of the mind is awe-inspiring.

I recently had an extremely agonizing sciatic nerve pain from my lower back to my foot for about 3 weeks. I couldn’t stand for more than one minute without getting shooting pains down my leg, I couldn’t sleep. When I decided to start meditating on Scripture and stating positive health affirmations my healing accelerated rapidly.

I thank God that a month later my leg is back to normal. Anything is possible when the thinking mind is quieted and we tap into the Big Mind

melissa, our God is a God of the impossible. nothing is too hard for him to do and what He has done for others, He will also do for you. He is our healer. when i was diagnosed to have that years ago and that caused me to lose my two babies, i was so devasted and i got mad at God. girl, i was furious! but because of what God allowed me to go through in my marriage, i believe it served as a preparation for my body to recover from the meds and needles that had pierced through my skin every single day. i believe i am healed and the best is yet to come.

girl, believe that God is your healer because He really is. =D

My first time visiting…what an awesome blog you have! Thanks for stopping by my place….

Having had those “Ouch” moments from the Lord, I can relate to your words. Seems like the things I get so worked up about are the very things the Lord teaches me are not important in the scheme of things…trusting and obeying HIM is what He desires from me….

Very inspiring. It matters SO much where we focus, on the answer or the problem. Thanks for your comment on my blog. God be with you, and comfort you.
